Life / Career / Home Update - Why I Haven't Been Blogging..

Long time no blog!It's been about 3 months or so since I've sat down in front of my laptop and just typed away and I've missed it SO much!So I thought, before I go back to bombarding you guys with all the product reviews I've been dying to shout about, we should have a quick catch up and explain why I've been missing from the blogging world for over 3 months.SO much has changed since the last time I blogged so let's start with some exciting news:I've got a new job!I am now working in HR for a beauty company so I get to combine my obvious love for everything beauty related with my love for organising, talking to people and excel spreadsheets. After over a year and a half at my previous company I felt it was time for a new challenge and that's definitely what I've got now. Not only am I working within the HR Department I'm also managing their social media sites so posting cute photos of nails for work isn't so bad! I'm working in quite a high pace environment with a lovely team so all in all I am really happy with the change. So as you can imagine trying to fit in time to blog whilst adapting to a new role can be pretty challenging but I'm getting there and to be honest, I feel more inspired now than ever. Secondly, (which is the actually real reason I haven't blogged in a hot minute) is because I've had no internet at home for 3 months!! I know first world problems right?With my brother's wedding coming up in the the next year or so, my mum thought it would be a great idea to get our whole house renovated top to bottom. That's new ceilings, new flooring, new walls, new wardrobes, new plumbing, new bathroom, new kitchen, knocking down a couple walls and a brand new bedroom for me! I'm no longer cramped in a little box room with make up and beauty products overflowing every drawer - I've now moved myself into the bigger bedroom with SO much practical storage (and I'm a blogger so you know I've got those while Alex drawers from ikea). I'm planning on doing a whole post on my room make over as soon as it's to a point I'm happy with but for now I am just happy to finally have WIFI so I can start blogging again.Thirdly, I believe this break from blogging has given me time to think about my site and where I want to really take it. I'm planning so many different ways to give you guys engaging and interesting content and I've found my mojo again! It may take me a couple of days to get myself back in the game but I'm so excited to let you guys know about the foundations I've been obsessed with recently and been dying to share, I'm excited to post about new product launches and what I think about them and I'm majorly excited to reconnect. I'm working on launching a new Instagram page dedicated to my blog and somehow also incorporating videos into my post so keep your eyes peeled (and drop me some advice if you can too!)So let's catch up.. Let me know below what you've been up to recently. What sort of content you would love to see. What's been going on in the blogging world and leave your blog links below too so I can have a read!
